Sustainable Guar Initiative
Sustainable guar is cultivated by the farmers of the Sustainable Guar Initiative (SGI), which we have supported since 2017. The SGI, implemented by non-profit organization Technoserve and initiated by chemical company Solvay, teaches and promotes sustainable agricultural practices amongst 3,000 guar bean farmers across twenty villages in the desert regions of Rajasthan, India. Within the project, farmers – 25% of whom are women – are trained in seeding, culturing and harvesting Guar plants in the most sustainable and productive way, under fair working conditions.
